 As this metric is tracking the connection duration, and ideally http connections are used for multiple requests, the buckets should be longer than those used for request durations. For example, using [ 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 30, 60, 120, 300] provides an upper bucket of 5 mins.
